Photos and footage of Queenslands Flood Disaster 2011

Updated on March 12, 2012

Queensland, Australia is right now experiencing the worst floods in our history. Thousands of homes are being inundated with water and whole town are being cut off. This is one of the worst natural disasters in Australia's history. People have lost their lives and many more are missing. I am writing this to try and show people around the world what is going on and the severity of this flood. The flooding now covers an area bigger than France and Germany combined.

Please take time to view the photos and watch the videos. Our hearts go out to all the victims of these terrible floods
